Interested in learning about alternative biofuel sources that can help minimize human impacts on the environment? Well look no further! For her Climate Action Lab final project, St. Louis junior Sifa dove into the world of sea kelp and explored how it might hold the key to safe, clean and sustainable energy for our future! This Digital Portfolio highlights Sifa’s process of researching, crafting, and directing her very own climate action plan.

Environmentally-conscious creatives now have yet another way to participate in the climate movement: creating plastic-filled amigurumis, which are knit or crocheted animal toys originating from the Japanese art form amigurumi. For her final project in the Climate Action Lab, Bloomfield senior Jahel demonstrates how to make amigurumis while cleaning plastic pollution from our ocean. Instead of stuffing her amigurumis with environmentally unfriendly stuffing, Jahel brilliantly combines artisanship with activism by stuffing her creatures with plastic waste. In this Digital Portfolio, explore Jahel’s process of devising, researching, and presenting her climate action plan.
